II. Reading
Read the passace about a birthday party and then answer the following questions. (Đọc đoạn văn về một buổi tiệc sinh nhật và sau đó trả lời những câu hỏi sau.)
I was invited by my neighbours to attend their son’s birthday party last Saturday evening. It was not an
ordinary celebration. The young couple had been childless for ten years after they got married and so
they were thrilled to have a child after they had virtually given up.
I had decided to bring my camera to take some photographs of the happy family. The birthday cake was
displayed prominently in the middle of the sitting room. Little John, the birthday boy, was all excited
and wanted to leave his finger prints on the cake.
The relatives and friends began to arrive with their presents wrapped in colourful boxes.
At exactly 8 p.m., it was declared that the cake would be cut. The boy was dressed in a smart,
brand-new outfit and looked like a little prince. The candles were blown out and the food began to
arrive. The host and his wife moved around to make sure that everyone was having a good time. Little
John seemed to know his important role in the party and kept grinning all the time. He did not enjoy
the hugs or kisses from the guests very much as he was now only interested in the toys he had just received.
The party came to an end at about 10.30 p.m. I went home feeling that it had been a delightful
evening and looking forward to the next day to have the film developed.
Hướng dẫn dịch:
Hàng xóm của tôi mời tôi đến dự tiệc sinh nhật của con trai họ vào tối thứ bảy tuần rồi. Đó không phải là bữa tiệc mừng bình thường. Đôi vợ chồng này thành hôn đã mười năm mà vẫn không có con nên họ rất xúc động vui sướng khi có được đứa con sau khi đã hoàn toàn tuyệt vọng.
Tôi quyết định mang theo máy ảnh để chụp vài tấm hình của gia đình hạnh phúc này. Chiếc bánh sinh nhật được bày ra một cách nổi bật ở giữa phòng khách. Bé John, cậu bé của bữa tiệc sinh nhật, rất náo nức và muốn chạm tay vào chiếc bánh. Thân nhân và bạn bè bắt đầu đến cùng với quà gói trong những chiếc hộp nhiều màu.
Vào đúng 8 giờ bánh sẽ được cắt. Cậu bé mặc bộ đồ mới tinh, trông giống như một hoàng tử nhỏ. Nến được thổi và thức ăn được dọn ra. Ông bà chủ tiệc đi vòng quanh để chắc là mọi người được vui vẻ. Bé John dường như biết vai trò quan trọng của mình trong bữa tiệc nên nhe răng cười suốt buổi. Cậu bé không thích được khách ôm hôn cho lắm vì cậu chỉ quan tâm đến các món đồ chơi vừa mới nhận được.
Bữa tiệc kết thúc khoảng 10.30 tối. Tôi về nhà cảm thấy buổi tối đó thật vui vẻ và mong đến ngày mai để đem phim đi rửa.

Mai is one of my best friends. We have many things in common so we often meet and do things together. We live on the same street. It’s interesting that her birthday is also in July but a week before mine so we often help each other to celebrate it. Last July we had a very special birthday parties. We didn’t have it at homes as usual but we had our birthday celebrations at Bai Chay beach during a two-week holiday with our parents. We spent the morning swimming and playing on the beach. We had seafood for lunch at the restaurant. In the afternoon we went shopping around the area and bought lots of souvenirs. Though I did not have many presents on my last year birthday, but I enjoyed it most of all.
